The private Whispering Pines Golf Club is home to one of the top-rated and finest championship golf courses in Texas. Set on the shoreline of Lake Livingston and a tributary river, Whispering Pines magnificently weaves its way through 450 acres of pine and hardwood forest.
With many wonderfully scenic lakeside, riverside and woodland holes, this excellent parkland layout is frequently rated the best in the Lone Star State. Immaculate conditioning and superb bunkering are two hallmarks of this blissfully natural and quietly located layout. The course's plentiful challenges, and its alluring aesthetics, are reinforced by large sandy waste areas and more than a few threatening ponds.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Excellent (including a double-ended driving range).
Lake Livingston, on the banks of which Whispering Pines sits, was created in the late-1960s, following the building of the Livingston Dam across the Trinity River. The lake now serves as a major water reservoir that feeds the Houston-Galveston area.
A mile from Whispering Pines is Camp Olympia, a private, overnight Texas summer camp, which offers one-, two- and three-week summer camp sessions for 6 to 16-year-olds.
